Where do I start, oh yes, at the beginning..
My parents, who are in their 70s, and I went there for some dinner (Oct 8th, 2015) and we arrived at 550pm for our 6pm reservation. Little did we know that we would be leaving ten minutes later.
My mother ordered a glass of Cabernet, my father a beer, and I was going to have the bartenders choice cocktail. Our server, who had to be let known that she had a table, came over to take our drink order and when we obliged, she then asked to see our id's. Like my parents id's, who are old..
My parents didnt bring their id's because they didnt drive, I did. Pop brought his credit card and thats all that was brought by them. The server said that it was the law that all patrons who order adult beverages must present a valid id.. That is patently wrong and subject to a discrimination lawsuit.
My father, who is a professor of Hospitality Management at two colleges in Tucson, which includes alcohol law, expressed in no uncertain terms that their interpretation of the law is wrong. He asked for the manager on duty and the GM came to the table.
She said that she just went through an alcohol beverage serving course and that it is against the law to serve without an id and that she didnt believe a professor.
Its my belief that they just got busted for underage serving and thats the reason why the blanket decision to apply a policy that is discriminatory in nature and open to lawsuits.
If you want to enjoy a great meal, walk across the street to Cafe Poca Cosa as we were gladly handed a glass of wine, a beer, and a cocktail without showing our id's. If it was a state law, as so wrongfully stated by the server and the General Manager, why were we not subject to it 10 feet away on the other side of the street.
Its obvious that the restaurant owner/s has directed an ill fated attempt to keep their nose out of the liquor board trouble that their own employees are trying to implement.
I would stay away from here as much as possible as the staff and owner/s have absolutely no idea what they are doing and if you are a senior citizen prepare to be discriminated..
